BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Even as a little girl, Dolly loved to sing and make up songs. When her siblings weren't her audience, she was happy to perform for the chickens and the pigs. She sang in church, and she listened to the Grand Ole Opry on the radio, dreaming to sing someday. Although she was teased at school for being poor, she turned those feelings into songs. As she got older, she traveled with her Uncle Bill to Nashville hoping to sing on the radio or TV. She kept hoping and dreaming and writing songs.
A nice story about Dolly's childhood. Includes more information about Dolly and the Grand Ole Opry, along with some of her most famous quotes, a bibliography and some websites. I didn't love the illustrations, I found her big eyes strange.
